Case Study: Stanley Black & Decker achieves faster, lower-cost M&A collaboration with IntraLinks

Stanley Black and Decker - Customer Case Study

Stanley Black & Decker, known for its Stanley® tools, reviews hundreds of potential acquisitions each year, which creates a complex transaction pipeline for its Corporate Development team. The company needed a secure technology solution from IntraLinks to streamline sharing large volumes of transaction information with internal and external experts across multiple locations, after SharePoint and email-based workarounds proved inadequate.

IntraLinks provided Stanley Black & Decker with online repositories for daily workflow and individual transactions, with granular document-level permissions to control who could view, download, or print sensitive files. As a result, the team replaced manual searching, copying, and mailing with searchable exchanges, saving 50% of time per transaction, reducing total transaction costs by 15%, and cutting travel costs by 45%.
